In the main text we give the title and dedication in the undoubtedly authentic version adopted in FE. The extensions of both the title (in GE and EE) and dedication (in EE) most probably come from the editors.

Neither in A nor in FE are the slurs in these bars precise. The slur of A gradually fades due to the ending ink, hence it is uncertain where it was supposed to end, according to Chopin. In FE (→GE1) the doubt concerns the transition to the new line between bars 2 and 3 – the slur in bar 2 suggests continuation (in accordance with A), which is, however, not confirmed by the new slur in bar 3. Although the slur in AI is legible, in this manuscript, the slurs generally seem to be written very randomly, without the intention of creating a coherent, complete image of phrasing or articulation (convergence with the 2nd slur of FE is most probably coincidental). According to us, there is no reason to think that the slurring here could differ from analogous indications in bars 10-12, embraced with one slur both in A and in the editions.

The version of A (→FE) is almost certainly erroneous. It is revealed by the notation of AI in this bar and a compatible version of all sources in analogous bar 44. The correct text of GE and EE is most probably a result of revisers' actions, probably on the basis of comparison with bar 44. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Terzverschreibung error , GE revisions , Errors of A |

The sources are missing some of the flats before g notes (in various octaves). None of these inaccuracies raise any doubt concerning the sound intended by Chopin. In AI there are no before g, as well as before G and g1 in bar 23. In A both flats in the L.H. in the 2nd half of bar 22 are missing; only the first of them was added in FE. The remaining sources have the correct text. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Accidentals in different octaves , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , Omission of current key accidentals , Authentic corrections of FE , Inaccuracies in A |

After the mark in the middle of bar 22, FE is missing the mark. In GE and EE a was added at the end of this bar, yet according to us, Chopin probably had in mind a one-and-a-half bar pedal. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE , No pedal release mark |
